The Los Angeles Lakers play the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The Lakers are coming off an opening night loss, 123-109, on Tuesday to the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors. LeBron James and Anthony Davis played fairly well, but other than Russell Westbrook and Kendrick Nunn, no one else did anything of note offensively.
L.A. had major problems hitting from 3-point range, and many expect that problem to continue all season.
The Clippers will be playing their first contest of the regular season on Thursday. Most expect them to contend for the title; some are even picking them as the favorites.
The Lakers will be designated as the home team in this contest. Over the last 10 seasons, they have had trouble beating their Crypto.com Arena co-tenants; they are 7-28 against them in that span.
